Best Firefighter Poems

Beneath embered brands of burning roof,
The firefighter waits.
His mask is on; he’s donned his gloves, 
Ready to enter the fiery state.
Once again to battle beast,
Whose heart burns with flaming hate.

On hands and knees he treads with care
Over blackened brittle floor.
Making way through smoke dark rooms
Fighting...

The Guardian Angels in our life
Are those who chose to serve
Those who sit there waiting
What’s around the next curve

Men and Women who have dedicated
Their very lives to us
Who face the dangers daily
To you our lives we trust

These wonderful selfless people
Will be there when we call
No...

A little girl I stand, awakened early morning hour.
The sound of shuffles preparing, for coffee one will scour.

Muffled voice all too familiar, for only one it could be.
Dads words saying, “I Love You”, In the next morning I will see.

Pulling out of the drive-way, swiftness...

Grandma was a firefighter woman
For most of the 1960s--
When she was already in her sixties
You see, around about 1961
A brush fire almost burned down	
Kanarraville—that little Utah farming town.

The men farmed or worked outside of town,
And there were no firehouses very near.
So the postmistress said “Sisters,...

    I am scared
not of you, but  my extra sensory
perception on my internal
dialogue 
          of what to do...
afraid of non condusive traits
   that form a line

She became a firefighter at a very young age
Passed with flying colors at every stage
Determined to follow the footsteps of her family
That is the dream that she did see.
She built up her body like any man
But had the gentlest hands.
The kindest heart that anyone would...

you wear skin but
it doesn't fit
not even when you grow a bit
it's tangled, battle-worn
frazzled and fringed
mangled and torn

you wonder, if you're caught by fire
will it burn you whole
will you survive

within you are a tree
hollow heart
scars so deep

but roots so strong
that wait for rain
and sprout in...

The sirens wailed at company two,
The men dawned their gear without a clue.
Into the trucks,out the door they went,
They had to go where they had been sent.
They seen the glow from two blocks away,
They closed their eyes and began to pray.
God keep us safe as...

As I am sitting quietly, with my family
Watching TV and enjoying the night 
Then comes the tones from my radio
Signaling something is not all right

Not knowing what the call may bring
My heart rate begins to rise
It could be a house on fire
Or a wreck causing...

911 Emergency
Alarms puncturing
Lights illuminating
A fire, burning up the way
They are ready to foray
In an unselfish display
Their life always
On the line
All the time 
With a sparking do well
Challenging a flaming hell 
At the ringing of a bell
To rescue a crying yell
From the purgatory of perdition 
On...

In the tongues of a July hellfire arson,
he couldn't breathe,
became fallen in the flames.
A hero of life,
his undying duty immortal,
the alarm still sounds.

As his brethren salute him,
stand, honor him ~
his funeral procession draws near,
still eternally passes silent,
but thunderous within the beats
of our grateful and collective...
